After serving the Twin Falls Fire Department for more than a decade, the City of Twin Falls has rotated out one of its tanker trucks and donated it to the Shoshone Fire Department.
The Twin Falls Fire Department typically rotates its trucks on a 10-year schedule, which is generally when the specialized trucks accumulate costly repairs - making them a financial burden. The tanker truck had already developed engine problems that needed to be addressed.
The City of Twin Falls felt its best use would be to assist a neighboring fire department, which will repair the truck and rotate it into service in the City of Shoshone.
